As good a game as we've had really in a long time....since the Texas-USC game as far as explosive play by both teams.

Execution was unbelievably good at times for these two offenses. I really enjoyed the game. The onsides kick was just stupendous! The kickoff return when Clemson had gotten right back in it..wow!

And Watson's inability to give up...just kept bringing his team back.

I can honestly say I had a lot of fun watching the game..even the blown coverages. The Howard kid deserved the MVP. He made some fantastic plays, and how he was left alone...well, when someone hasn't caught many passes all year and scored no TDs, it's not unusual for the DBs and LBers to not pay much attention to him. Credit Kiffin and Coker for recognizing the open target and getting the ball to him. And his last impact, on the 3rd and 11 when it appeared Clemson was going to get the ball back, that was pure athletic talent.

I think the kid made some money last night. He has to decide quickly if he's coming back for his senior season or not

Overall, just a great championship game. Neither team could get an advantage until the 4th quarter, and then the explosiveness of the offenses was unreal

I spent the entire game (minus a few minutes at halftime) on the phone with my dad (he had knee surgery after Thanksgiving and couldn't come home to watch it). I think you probably could've heard him yelling in Knoxville on that kick return. This was our 5th national title and I was damned if we weren't going to be together for it somehow.

You think you were surprised by that onside. I had walked out of the room to get a drink not thinking anything was going to happen.

Besides the touchdown plays the best moment was Cokers dive for the first down. That almost salted the game away and the amount of times Alabamas porous right side of the OL put him on his butt makes the play (which went to the right) all the better to me.

Watson was brilliant. Alabamas defense would have the play fully shut down and then BAM he's found something and made something out of nothing. It wasn't that Manziel "chunk it up and hope" thing, either. Dude was just ON all game. He had an almost perfect game.

The multiple broadcasts were cool, but I wish they'd set a national standard to get them synced up better. I had to pause mine a bit to get it in time with dads and couldn't change to the other ones bc of it. I dvrd the finebaum film room one, though. It was ok. It was oddly like watching the game on Ambien, though. Finebaum, McFarland, and McElroy had some energy (McFarland more so than the others. I think he and Finebaum should have more energetic cohosts next time), but Bielema was like a wet blanket. It was like watching a golf broadcast. He did that muted voice over thing. Next year they should have more energy.
